Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Well maintained establishment, the credit limit was $35 a night which sounds good but everything to eat is ~$30+ and they include the tip in the bill regardless, overall good stay and I was able to get to the subway with no problem

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
No refrigerator, coffee maker, nor microwave. There’s a Starbucks, in the lobby that opens at 6:30. Did not hear neighbors. Partner said the room was small, not too bad. Nice view from 25th floor. Tic Toc restaurant is open 24 hr., good and reasonable. Some nice Art Deco elements.

Hampton Inn New York Times Square
We were there for 5 days. We’re told they’d clean every other day. They never cleaned our room. I paid extra for CITY VIEW!!! Our view was of another building. No city view!!! They were under construction that wasn’t told to us before hand.
